A Look Back: Movember 2014

Thanks to all the Sociomantic Mo Bros who worked hard to change the face of men's health this Movember.

Well, that’s a wrap! Movember is now officially over and many of our Mo Bros are now back to their winter beards — but their mo’ growing efforts won’t be soon forgotten. These brave bros have done so well in this year’s fundraising campaign that they ended up in the top 35 teams in Germany!

“In the beginning, we didn’t know what to expect — anybody with a beard knows how hard it is to say goodbye to it! However, to my surprise and delight, we had 29 participants, many from Berlin but also many more from international offices like Warsaw, Prague, Sao Paolo and Moscow who also joined alongside Mo Sista’s from Berlin and London.

“It was great to see how the team developed its fundraising strategy: from the group shaving in Berlin, to the Movember kitchen change jar, Mo’Running in London or auctioning massage vouchers on Yammer – the team found some really creative ways to raise awareness for the cause. But even without the extra efforts, the original idea also seemed to work: just a simple act of wearing of a moustache triggered so many conversations that in the end we managed to raise over €2000 to help change the face of men’s health. All in all, it was a fun challenge, and I think it’s safe to say that team Mociomantic will definitely return next year and hopefully with even more moustached bros fighting for a good cause.”
